Great summer read--The Devil Wears Prada in reverse. Lots of fun, good characters you can get behind; a tight, fast-paced plot; and a very satisfying ending. Won't win any prizes, but a great way to spend a few hours.

Although the book is entertaining at times, it gets to be old. Reading the e-book version and am 65% done, but feel I don't need to finish it which is a bad sign.
Was hoping it would be written as well as Devil Wears Prada, but the characters just aren't that great.
Also, it's extremely annoying to have name dropping on every page: "The dress she wore was a gift from her long time friend Michael Kors..." etc etc. Boring, predictable...
